Beautifully done. Simple and short, yet poignant and deep. Takeda's voice and acting was so soothing and full of melancholy, while Kimura's was more energic and passionate but with so much suffering trapped inside... they both delivered amazing performances.
The last episode was a perfect ending: I loved Togawa's dialogue when he said that being part of a minority or having an age-gap relationship is actually just like rooting for two baseball teams or coming from two different towns... if people could really be a bit more "ligh-hearted" and see that no difference is as big as it sounds, the world would definitely be a better place.
Son Woo Hyun shined from start to finish. He gave life to one of the best BLs characters of the last years... I will miss Kang Seo Joon smile, laugh, sweetness, care, love, and everything that made him such a lovely character.
That said, I think I liked S2 better than S1: yes, there were some chaotic plot moments, and I must admit I would have loved more time spent on KSJ and HJW past and inner motives instead of having to deal with mother/daughter and ex-girlfriend for half of the series... BUT! Even so, I'm so happy to see adult characters dealing with struggles, suffering, loss and after all of the shit that life gives us... finding a way to keep on going. It's not like problems disappeared from their lives... but they found a way to solve them step by step.
Again, Son Woo Hyun was brilliant. And also: the CEO is the only man in the world who can look cool on a total-pink tuxedo.
Oh! I didn'y know it makes a difference! What does it change if we rate episodes instead of the whole series? I usually rate a series when it's finished because I want to see how everything comes together in the end to be able to rate it in a more complete way, but if rating episde by episode would help my favourite series I'll do that too! XD
I love these two: they are just like normal people having paranoic moments over silly things, but instead of going nuts for endless episodes like they usually do in thai BLs, here they solve everything in half episode and their story actually EVOLVES and it's cute and likeable.
Mek is fascinating, Mark is handsome, Mike is cool, Arm is charming, Joong is hot... but someone please erase Dunk. I just can't stand him and I would prefer 45mins of nothing instead of 3mins of fake cute DaoKhluen moments.
Again, I'm already in withdrawal crisis and can't wait for this week to be over!
I love the show as it is, but it seems that important parts have been cut and put as deleted scenes for VIP-members…
Thank you! I didn't know this and it might be the main reason why I feel so many things are badly told or left out of the storytelling... I usually don't have problems with "bad dramas" (I mean, I followed Tuxedo just to know what absurdity they would come up with at each episode... and I still had fun watching! XD), I get intrigued by characters so that's the main reason why I'll keep watching this too... it's just, it feels like they think we know half the story already, which might not be true for everyone's watching.
I haven't watched anything from the "En of Love" series and I started this one since I was looking for something to fill in the weekly gaps of other series... but, I just can't really follow the plot, I feel like everything is so badly patched together... At the beginning it looks like Marc&Vee are strangers but then Vee does the most bizarre and absurd love confession while Mark has a knife on his throat (WHAT WAS THAT SCENE?? totally crazy, useless, absurd!! and nobody gave a sh!t about Vee's love confession even tho' he was crying and being overly emotional and shouting love from the top of his lungs...)... I really can't get the "timings" of their "relationship". Plus, the whole Ploy/Vee thing is a bit irritating (why can Vee cheat on her, but she can't cheat on him?)...
I must admit, though, that even if I don't like Vee's character I am kinda curious about Mark, AND I like both of the actors who are doing a pretty good job. So, I will keep watching.
This was one of the most intense love confessions ever. My heart ached for Togawa while he was admitting everything and I know I'll cry during the last episode next week.
They could have just used ep.10&11 to show how the preparation for a wedding and the wed-life are, and that would have made the story and the growth of their relationship complete. Instead we got some chaotic and useless moments, "erased" by a happy ending full of cameos.
This drama was good but it could have so much better...
Do I need to watch star in my mind to watch this series or can I just directly go for this one with out watching…
One of the ML of SIMM is the brother of Kuafah, who's this series ML. That said, this story is totally indipendent from SIMM's plot and you can totally understand it without the need of watching the first part. And to be honest, SIMM is pretty flat and childish compared to this one.
SIMM's MLs have guest starring scenes in SIYH (unfortunately), so you'll see them here too being lovey dovey.
I'm usually not a "rewatch" person, or at least I don't rewatch dramas when they are airing. BUT! I already rewatched the first 3 episodes three times. o.o I really miss PrinceFah during the week, so I'm all over fanmade videos and rewatching scenes! They are probably the only very good thing of this series, because almost all the villagers are terrible actors (I hated Yayah in every scene during the first watch, and I would have killed her during the rewatch...) and the plot development jumps from one thing to the other without a real connection... and yet, I'm loving the two ML chemistry and the bond they're creating, I love the friendship scenes (Mesa & JJ are lovely!!) and the sceneries are soothing and relaxing.
To me this series is just a "relaxing moment" between the chaotic days of everyday life. It's not exciting as KinnPorsche and not thrilling as Triage, but it has its own charme and I really can't wait every week for a new dose of PrinceFah sparkles. <3
I'm kinda happy this show has a slightly higher rate than KinnPorsche: I'm really loving both, but I find this to be much more structured, original and interesting. I wasn't expecting this to be so thrilling and to love it so much!
And here I am watching FahPrince videos and playing the ending of ep3 in loop. I wasn't expecting to like this series so much, I was probably in need of something this fluffy.
Not knowing the manga, judging from the title I was afraid this would be yet another school BL... but no! Yay! First episode was fun, fluffy and cute! And OMG how beautiful is the actor playing Yanase!! *_*
This might be the first season in which I'm actually expecting more from japanese BLs that are starting to air than from Thai ones.

Oh, and... Naito-kun is so damn beautiful I could watch him for hours without caring for plot or anything else. ^^

And... so much love for Sing!! He was this episode's protagonist! <3
